I am currently in a nightmare scenario at a new job. I just finished building their website, and it got flagged as a phishing website by Google Safebrowsing because Google seems to think that our analytics subdomain which is a self-hosted instance of Umami Analytics is a phishing attempt.

I requested a review once, they removed the flag. It came back a couple of days ago. I then had to move Umami to its own domain because I couldn't risk this ever happening again (visitors to our root domain were also getting the huge red warning, and our business was coming off as a scam).

Then they flagged the new domain as well. They've removed it again at my request, but I am just counting down the days until it happens again.

There is no way for me to get through to a human to talk about why this is happening.

Have legal send Google a C&D and shoot an email to the FTC about anticompetitive behavior. That's how you get a human involved.

    Even if this works, it represents a failure in the system that needs to be fixed.

    (I assume you're just trying to help the parent solve their problem so I'm not trying to be dismissive of your comment)

      I am not sure this aphorism is helping in any way though? of course system needs to be fixed, there are about 829 things google/bigtech-wise that needs to be fixed but of course they won't be fixed. the only course of action in vast majority of cases like this is legal action
